Materials may be chosen for mechanical protection, corrosion resistance and overall economy of the installation (labor and material cost).

Typically the uranium shield is supported and enclosed in polyurethane foam for thermal, mechanical and oxidation protection.

The cerebrospinal fluid offers more than mechanical protection: it is also part of a rather complex system of chemical protection for the brain.

It provides mechanical and chemical protection of delicate components.

There is also general mechanical protection.

Wood lagging is one of several solutions employed by pipeline engineers to provide mechanical protection for underground pipelines.

Two layers of galvanised steel wire armour provides strength and mechanical protection.

Morrison Hershfield Limited provided civil, structural, mechanical, code, fire protection and building envelope engineering and project management related services.

Whereas your people at least must have a stable-if not slightly growing population-to have existed without their mechanical protections.

The backing provides mechanical protection against abrasion and soil stress forces after the pipeline is buried.
